A recent study found that approximately 25% of adults in the United States have high blood pressure. This is alarming as high blood pressure can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease and stroke. The study surveyed over 10,000 adults and revealed that many participants were unaware of their condition. It also highlighted disparities among different demographics, with a higher prevalence of high blood pressure among older adults and minorities. Experts recommend regular blood pressure screenings and lifestyle changes to prevent and manage high blood pressure.
